E. Ruin 2 crap songs

F. Frustrate the listener

G. Frustrate the viewer

H. Make it impossible to love, knowing this exists in the world

I. All of the above

This almost works....pair the beat from the first song with the lyrics and visuals from the second...and you will gain a new subscriber...

Calling any Nine Inch Nails song crap is grounds for sadomasochistic torture. ;-(

But FWIW, I've gone ahead and deleted the video. The quality was rather lousy; I only created it to denigrate the stupid song with the blonde, which had gotten stuck in my head yesterday and wouldn't go away.

As for your last suggestion, it's a nice idea, but I don't know if I can do it; making mashups is something I've never been successful at.

Now that I own all the Frank Herbert Dune books, I really should get started on Children of Dune soon.

YES!  1776 IS FINALLY COMING OUT ON BLURAY!

I can't wait until July 4th : )

 No, there's no theatrical cut included! I don't care if the director's cut is better, this is originaltrilogy.com, we don't like when the theatrically released cut of a film isn't released.

State-of-the-art 4K digital technology made it possible to address problems and restore color fidelity to a level not possible at the time of the earlier restoration, which was done through photochemical processes.

This makes me worried of color grading alterations.

true, it would be nice to have the original threatrical cut.   However, the directors cut does somewhat get closer to the original stage version.  Keep in mind that unlike the SE,  the director's cut doesn't add cgi to any any scenes.  The directors cut doesn't scenes that were newly filmed, the scenes added were all created when the movie was original made.  As far as I know, all added scenes were scenes from the original stage production.

If a dream has all the components of a nightmare, but fails to greatly frighten or disturb you, is it still a nightmare?

No. It is MST3K fodder.

 I apologize for the apparent glibness of my earlier reply...I have love/hated that song (the first, not the second) since its inception...viewing your juxtaposition simply bewildered my sense of hope that you might have solved the dilemma of stealing that fine beat and infusing it with a proper lyrical normalcy that would allow me to play it without self-recrimination...

In fairness to your earlier effort I will list my impressions in the order in which they occurred upon first watching:

1) Enjoyment

2) Amusement

3) Confusion

4) Despair

5) Irritation

6) Despondency

7) Frustration

8) Sorrow

9) Calm

10) Glibness

Nah, you don't have to apologize. It just wasn't very well made -- especially the widescreen portions.

My kingdom for better sources and software ... ;-)

I really need to buy a digital camera one of these days. Taking rolls of film in to get developed has become a pain in the ass now that the medium's been superseded.

You can probably get a good deal on an older model if you don't need all the bells and whistles. Wi Fi seems pointless when you can just pop the memory card into your computer. I'm sure some hacker is going to find a way to steal photos from those cameras.

I'm mostly happy with the digital SLR I got at Target in 2013. Took a while to get the hang of it with all the settings and buttons. Autofocus seems to get dumber with each camera I've owned, but at least I have manual override now.

All the drugstores near me have apparently gotten rid of their photo processing equipment. (Where they actually send the rolls to be developed now is anyone's guess.) Funny thing is, they seem to have more film rolls for sale now, not just the single use cameras.

I haven't shot any film in a couple years, (my SLR was getting creaky with age and actually chewed up part of a roll) but the local Costco still does developing on site at least for now. I think Walmart still does as well?

I'd love do something with my Polaroid, but the film, (now made by a third party) is too expensive for me. Why no other company has ever used sonar fousing baffles me. It blows infrared away.
